This review is from: Dictionary of Mary (Hardcover)

More like an encylopedia than a dictionary, since each topic is the subject of a short essay. A great book to open a page and random, and see what you'll learn. Eight appendices suggest Mary-oriented Bible passages (not just direct biography, but also many Old Testament passages), and provide a chronology of Marian events in the history of the Catholic Church.
